Any updates on this?
Currently i cant save it, no matter i i choose the mobile two times or one once.
The error is:
Automatisierung ist nicht verfügbar
Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data['neueste']
I followed the suggestion here and removed the 2nd entry for mobile device to work around the issue.

Thanks a lot, that finally works around the issue, without specify two devices.
Hope that get’s fixed in the official blueprint sometime.

Thanks for this amazing blueprint! I’ve just installed it but i can’t configure it because my device list is empty?
While both my iphone and ipad are available in the total device list?
Hopefully someone can help me out.
Update: i’ve removed both my mobile devices from the mobile app integration and reinstalled the home assistant app on both devices, this fixed the problem.
Is this blueprint still a viable option or is there something else more up to date?
This Blueprint hasn’t been updated since 2022
Still works for me!

I just installed and it works. There is an initial issue where I had to put the same mobile device under ‘Mobile app device’ and ‘Mobile app device 2’
A modified version (just one mobile device) still works here. I can provide it, when needed.

Thank you!
You’re welcome.
My apologies if this is to far off topic and should be posted elsewhere. Just let me know,
I have been having issues with a loooong installed blueprint (Update notifications) including recent log errors, so after researching blueprints learned (I beleve) that a blueprint is a STATIC import from GIST w/o any version info (yes I looked at some automation that are looking at ways to automate their updates butt DO NOT want to muddy the water by going down that path for the moment.
Anyways back to the issue(s). Given the static nature prevailing wisdom seems to. be simple reimport the BP, and assuming the inputs don’t vary significantly between when you ORIGINALLY imported (and created the automation(s) that use the BP), your automations should pick up any changes that were published two Github… This is my ASSUMPTION, PLEASE correct me if I am wrong…
Now on why any of this is relevant here… When I still had issues (including the need to double list my phone for notification as is well documented), I thought being a good former Engineer I would double check not just the mod date of blueprint I have locally but also the source. I diff’d my local copy (even updated again today), and compared it to Mike’s posted GIST and the two do not match ?!?
What am I missing in may understanding? Github says @CentralCommand updated GitHub 2 wks ago and I refreshed today. I can post the FULL text of my local copy stored in /blueprints/automation/mdegat01/update_notifications.yaml if that is helpful just didn’t want to spam the group. I can also discuss the logged error but again wan ted to do MY best to troubleshoot by making sure I have the CURRENT blueprint BEFORE asking for help 
It’s the engineer in me…
Thanks for any help insight.
@taw123 use my modified version here: Update notifications (Core, OS, Addons, HACS, etc) - #131 by pOpY
In this i have removed the second notification target, so the issue don’t pop’s up.
Yes, when you replace the blueprint and not much changed (like in mine), your automations jus works as before.
The modded version works without issues for me on HA Core 2024-06.
Did you manage to get this working? I’m very new to the platform and am struggling with some of these complexities - but would love to have email notifications when updates are available - so, if you could share an anonymised version of your code, that would be awesome.
Is there an updated blueprint? The HACS 2.0 update broke some linking in the notifications…

Hello, would it be possible to add other communication options? Since my HA runs locally and I don’t have it on the internet, the notifications don’t work via the app. With other blueprints, I can add pushover, for example, and get my messages through it.
Mine is also not on the internet directly. I am using wireguard on my router and wgtunnel android App for switching automatically wireguard on/off when I am away/home. So my HA is always reachable and notifications are coming through.
